SAMUEL WILLIAMSON, LEEDS, ENGLAND.

TIE-FRAME.

Application filed July 24, 1919. Serial No. 313,080.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL WILLIAMSON, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Leeds, in the county of York, England, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Tie-Frames, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved necktie frame, for the use more particularly of tie manufacturers, and designed to facilitate the original formation of the tie, to cheapen its construction by dispensing with separate pieces stitched together, to maintain its shape during packing, storage, display, sale, and Wear, and to facilitate its fitting and retention in correct position for wear.

For these purposes my invention consists in the combination, with an ordinary winged tie frame, of a bridge piece or loop fixed centrally to the back of the frame so as to permit of the tie being passed through be tween the bridge piece and the frame in course of forming the knot, and having a rearwardly projecting pin adapted for engagement within the socket of an ordinary spring stud.

Dcscm'ptc'on 0f accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a rear View of my invention as applled to a two-w1nged frame. 7

Figs. 2 and 3 are front and rear views 7 respectively of a bow tie formed on the tie frame shown in Fig. 1. V

Fig. 4 is a rear View of my invention as applied to a three-winged frame.

Figs. 5 and 6 are front and rear views respectively of a tie formed on the tie frame shown in Fig. 4.

Figs. 7 and 8 are detached views of the component lengths of fabric forming the tie shown in Figs. 2 and 3.

Figs. 9 and 10 are detached views of the component lengths of fabric forming the tie shown in Figs. 5 and 6.

Fig, 11 is a sectional view of the stud deslgned to be used in connection with the pin of the necktie.

According to my said invention I employ the usual frame Aof vulcanized fiber, papler-mach, or similar lightflexible material, having two wings (Figs. 1 to 3) or three wings (Figs. 4 to 6), according to the formof tie required, over which the fabric of the tie is folded. To the back of this.

frame A is riveted or otherwise centrally fixed a small metal bridge-piece or loop 'B which in turn carries a central rearwardlyprojecting pin C adapted to be detachably engaged within the socket of an ordinary spring stud (not shown), for example by means of a groove D on the pin engaging witclli suitable spring fastenings within the stu The tie is preferably formed from two lengths of fabric, suitably shaped according to the form of tie required, and each having a small stitched pocket E at one end. These pockets E are fitted respectively over the two side wings of the frame A, and the two lengths of fabric are then tied in a natural knot around the central part of the frame,

one end being passed through the metal bridge-piece or loop B in course of forming said knot, which is therefore held securely without stitching.

I claim:

An improved neck tie frame'comprising in combination an approximately crescent shaped plate having wings designed to engage the ends of two strips, a U-shaped loop at the back of the plate and fixed centrally thereof and designed to engage one of the strips when both are knotted to form a tie,

and a pin carried by the loop and extending rearwardly thereof and adapted for detachable engagement with a stud, as and for the purpose specified.

SAMUEL WILLIAMSON.
